  1. Skeletal System

  2. Parts of the Skeletal System • Bones (skeleton) • Joints • Cartilages • Ligaments

  3. Subdivisions of Skeleton • Axial skeleton • Appendicular skeleton

  4. Functions of Bones • Supportthe body • Protectsoft organs • Allow movementdue to attached skeletal muscles • Store mineralsand fats • Blood cell formation

  5. Bones of the Human Body • The adult skeleton has 206 bones • Two basic types of bone tissue • Compact bone - homogeneous • Spongy bone • Small needle-like pieces of bone • Many open spaces

  6. Classification of Bone on the Basis of Shape • Longbones • Typically longerthan they are wide • Have a shaft with heads at both ends • Contain mostly compactbone • Example: femur, humerus

  7. Classification of Bone on the Basis of Shape • Shortbones • Generally cube-shape • Contain mostly spongybone • Example: carpals, tarsals

  8. Classification of Bone on the Basis of Shape • Flatbones • Thin, flattened, and usually curved • Two thin layers of compact bone surround a layer of spongy bone • Example: skull, ribs, sternum

  9. Classification of Bone on the Basis of Shape • Irregularbones • Irregularshape • Do not fit into other bone classification categories • Example: vertebrae, hip bones

  10. Types of Bones

  11. Anatomy of a Long Bone • Diaphysis • Shaft • Composed of compact bone • Epiphysis • Ends of the bone • Composed mostly of spongy bone

  12. Anatomy of a Long Bone • Periosteum • Outside covering of the diaphysis • Fibrous connective tissue membrane • Sharpey’s fibers - secureperiosteum to underlying bone • Arteries - supply bone cells with nutrients

  13. Anatomy of a Long Bone • Articular cartilage • Coversthe externalsurface of the epiphyses • Made of hyaline cartilage • Decreases frictionat joint surfaces

  14. Anatomy of a Long Bone • Epiphyseal plate- flat plate of hyaline cartilage seen in young, growing bone • Epiphyseal line • Remnant of the epiphyseal plate • Seen in adult bones

  15. Anatomy of a Long Bone • Medullary cavity • Cavity insideof the shaft • Contains yellow marrow(mostly fat) in adults • Contains red marrow(for blood cell formation) in infants

  16. Parts of a Long Bone

  17. Bone Markings • Surface features of bones • Sites of attachments for muscles, tendons, and ligaments • Passages for nerves and blood vessels • Categories of bone markings • Projections or processes—grow out from the bone surface • Depressions or cavities—indentations

  18. Microscopic Anatomy of Bone • Osteon(Haversian system) - a unit of bonecontaining central canal and matrix rings • Central(Haversian) canal • Opening in the center of an osteon • Carries blood vessels and nerves • Perforating(Volkman’s) canal • Canal perpendicular to the central canal • Carries blood vessels and nerves

  19. Microscopic Anatomy of Bone • Lacunae • Cavities containing bone cells (osteocytes) • Arranged in concentric rings • Lamellae • Rings around the central canal • Sites of lacunae

  20. Microscopic Anatomy of Bone • Canaliculi • Tiny canals • Radiate from the central canal to lacunae • Form a transport systemconnecting all bone cells to a nutrient supply

  21. Formation of the Human Skelton • In embryos, the skeleton is primarily hyaline cartilage • During development, much of this cartilage is replaced by bone • Cartilage remains in isolated areas • Bridge of the nose • Parts of ribs • Joints

  22. Bone Growth (Ossification) • Epiphyseal plates allow for lengthwise growth of long bones during childhood • New cartilage is continuously formed • Older cartilage becomes ossified • Cartilage is broken down • Enclosed cartilage is digested away, opening up a medullary cavity • Bone replaces cartilage through the action of osteoblasts

  23. Bone Growth (Ossification) • Bones are remodeled and lengthened until growth stops • Bones are remodeledin response to two factors • Blood calcium levels • Pull of gravity and muscles on the skeleton • Bones grow in width (called appositional growth)

  24. Types of Bone Cells • Osteocytes—mature bone cells • Osteoblasts—bone-forming cells • Osteoclasts—bone-destroying cells • Break down bone matrix for remodeling and release of calcium in response to parathyroid hormone • Bone remodeling is performed by both osteoblasts and osteoclasts

  25. Bone Fractures • Fracture—break in a bone • Types of bone fractures • Closed (simple) fracture—break that does not penetrate the skin • Open (compound) fracture—broken bone penetrates through the skin • Bone fractures are treated by reduction and immobilization

  26. Repair of Bone Fractures • Repair of Bone Fractures • Hematoma (blood-filled swelling) is formed • Break is splinted by fibrocartilage to form a callus • Fibrocartilage callus is replaced by a bony callus • Bony callus is remodeled to form a permanent patch

  27. Repair of Bone Fractures

  28. The Axial Skeleton • Forms the longitudinal axis of the body • Divided into three parts • Skull • Vertebral column • Bony thorax

  29. The Skull • Two sets of bones • Cranium • Facial bones • Bones are joined by sutures • Only the mandible is attached by a freely movable joint

  30. Paranasal Sinuses • Hollow portions of bones surrounding the nasal cavity • Functions of paranasal sinuses • Lighten the skull • Give resonance and amplification to voice

  31. The Hyoid Bone • The only bone that does not articulate with another bone • Serves as a moveable base for the tongue • Aids in swallowing and speech

  32. The Fetal Skull • The fetal skull is large compared to the infant’s total body length • Fontanels—fibrous membranes connecting the cranial bones • Allow the brain to grow • Convert to bone within 24 months after birth

  33. The Vertebral Column • Each vertebrae is given a name according to its location • There are 24 single vertebral bones separated by intervertebral discs • Seven cervical vertebrae are in the neck • Twelve thoracic vertebrae are in the chest region • Five lumbar vertebrae are associated with the lower back

  34. The Vertebral Column • Nine vertebrae fuse to form two composite bones • Sacrum • Coccyx • The spine has a normal curvature • Primary curvatures are the spinal curvatures of the thoracic and sacral regions - present from birth • Secondary curvatures are the spinal curvatures of the cervical and lumbar regions - develop after birth

  35. The Vertebral Column • Sacrum - formed by the fusion of five vertebrae • Coccyx • Formed from the fusion of three to five vertebrae • “Tailbone,” or remnant of a tail that other vertebrates have

  36. The Bony Thorax • Forms a cageto protect major organs • Consists of three parts • Sternum • Ribs • True ribs (pairs 1–7) • False ribs (pairs 8–12) • Floating ribs (pairs 11–12) • Thoracic vertebrae

  37. The Appendicular Skeleton • Composed of 126 bones • Limbs(appendages) • Pectoral girdle • Pelvic girdle

  38. The Pectoral (Shoulder) Girdle • Composed of two bones • Clavicle—collarbone • Scapula—shoulder blade • These bones allow the upper limb to have exceptionally free movement

  39. Bones of the Upper Limbs • Humerus • Forms the arm • Single bone • The forearm has two bones • Ulna - medial bone in anatomical position • Radius - lateral bone in anatomical position

  40. Bones of the Upper Limbs • The hand • Carpals—wrist • Metacarpals—palm • Phalanges—fingers

  41. Bones of the Pelvic Girdle • Formed by two coxal (ossacoxae) bones • Composed of three pairs of fused bones • Ilium • Ischium • Pubis

  42. Bones of the Pelvic Girdle • The total weight of the upper body rests on the pelvis • It protects several organs • Reproductive organs • Urinary bladder • Part of the large intestine

  43. Gender Differences of the Pelvis • The female inlet is larger and more circular • The female pelvis as a whole is shallower, and the bones are lighter and thinner • The female ilia flare more laterally • The female sacrum is shorter and less curved • The female ischial spines are shorter and farther apart; thus the outlet is larger • The female pubic arch is more rounded because the angle of the pubic arch is greater

  44. Gender Differences of the Pelvis

  45. Bones of the Lower Limbs • The thigh has one bone • Femur - the heaviest, strongest bone in the body • The lower leg has two bones • Tibia • Shinbone • Larger and medially oriented • Fibula - thin and sticklike

  46. Bones of the Lower Limbs • The foot • Tarsals • Two largest tarsals • Calcaneus (heelbone) • Talus • Metatarsals—sole • Phalanges—toes

  47. Arches of the Foot • Bones of the foot are arranged to form three strong arches • Two longitudinal • One transverse
